When I watched Belfry this past Saturday, I thought the same as the bolded and wondered: is that the best O to beat Central? I know the flex bone helps get the RBs outside quicker, but I wonder if Belfry will ever have the speed to get outside Central even using the flex bone. They certainly didn't have it this year. Watching the game, I thought Belfry might have been better off running out of the I more often to pound the middle and then use play action passes to the TEs and SE when the LBers start cheating to stop the run. If you feel you need to run wide to keep Central honest, bring the wing in motion and run a jet sweep type play, or pitch the ball to the TB and use the RB as a lead blocker.

I have a ton of respect for Coach Haywood. His resume speaks for itself. I'm almost embarrassed to be second guessing him. But I've posted that Johnson Central's O may work fine against a lot of teams but it has to be adjusted to beat Highlands and I need to be consistent: should Belfry adjust it's O in anticipation of meeting Central in the state game? Or would such adjustments result in Belfry not even making it to the state game?

I wasn't going to bring up my thoughts until I saw you state what I bolded.

If you don't mind, who do you coach for and have you ever coached in a state championship? I can tell you one thing, I promise you there WAS speed on that field and evidently you didn't pay too much attention to some of the playmakers. Sorry, just had to voice my opinion on your post and was curious as to your resume details.
